Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) identify, formulate, and solve engineering project management problems by applying principles of engineering as well as science and mathematics;
2) communicate effectively with a range of audiences via the lab reports and project presentations;
3) recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations that are directly related to project management and related topics while considering the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts;
4) function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
5) develop and conduct appropriate examples to analyze and to interpret data, and to use engineering judgment to draw conclusions for the given cases related to project management life cycle;
6) acquire and apply contemporary issues and methods in PM with using appropriate learning strategies
